With only 3 more shows this season: Pippin, Anything Goes and Sister Act, I am already anticipating the 2015-2016 season!
With
my 20th Leap Year birthday in 2016 it will be just another way to
celebrate. Here is the current line up for the 2015-2016 Broadway
touring season at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami and the Broward
Performing Arts Center in Fort Lauderdale

There
is the conflict of the Cabaret/Dirty Dancing dates. This is the first
season that I remember Miami and Fort Lauderdale sharing the same show
in the same season (Kinky Boots) as they usually alternate seasons. And
usually either one will add another show as the season gets closer.

A
funny story on me: I went to the original Broadway production of
Cabaret with Joel Grey and Jill Hayworth in 1966 with my friend Ronnie
and afterwards we went to Downey’s on 8th Avenue for a drink where we
proceeded to tell Frank the bartender what an awful show it was!
Needless to say it went on to win 8 Tony awards including Best Musical,
the movie version was an Oscar winning film and the production we will
be seeing here is the very successful revival on Broadway in 2014.


An
aside: Looks like my Leap Year celebration will end with “Kinky Boots”
so anyone coming to town to celebrate my birthday get tickets for the
show!
